Still time to cookout before winter comes
Nurse the hickory to red then glowing white hot
We love mixing the food on the grill
Shrimp, lobster, mussels for the ladies
The men like brisket, ribs, chicken legs with thighs
Oh, not to forget kidneys or chicken livers
Just for Uncle Jim

For glorious dessert, enormous fruit pies
Like blueberry, cherry or lemon
Piled high with plush, billowing Cool Whip
Kids gulp milk, devour brownies or butter cookies
Hot coffee with spirits sipped slowly by the elders
Good time before swirling snow drives us inside
